Key Stats
Cincinnati Reds
Nick Martinez will get the start for the Reds in today’s game. Martinez has started the season 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA and struck out three batters. Spencer Steer leads the team with a .423 batting average, 11 hits, and an OBP of .500. Nick Martini has smacked a team-high two home runs and recorded nine RBIs.
New York Mets
The Mets are expected to start Luis Severino for today’s game. Severino has started the season 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA and six strikeouts. Francisco Alvarez leads the team with a .333 batting average, four RBIs, an OBP of .360, and eight hits. Pete Alonso has hit a team-high two home runs.
Game Prediction
The Mets are trying to secure their third win in a row, but with Nick Martinez pitching, their already stagnant offense could struggle even more today. The Reds average double the number of runs per game compared to New York, and Severino gives them a favorable matchup. I’m not saying Severino isn’t a good pitcher, but he is too inconsistent to trust. I am going with my gut and rolling with Cincinnati today to bounce back and tie the series 1-1.
Final Pick
Cincinnati Reds ML (-125)
